Ang buto ng avocado ay bumubuo ng 16–20% ng kabuuang bigat ng prutas, habang ang balat naman ay 11–15%. Ang balat at buto ay hindi kinakain at tinatapon na kaagad. Ngunit alam niyo ba na maaari pa itong pagkuhanan ng mga compounds na makatutulong sa ating kalusugan?

Ang bawat pagwagayway ng ating watawat ay patunay ng ating kasarinlan at ang makulay na kasaysayan sa likod nito—ang p**a ng dugo ng ating mga magigiting, ang bughaw ng kalangitang payapa, ang liwanag sa gitna ng dilim, at ang ginintuang sinag ng araw at mga bituin na pinagkakaisa ang ating mga kapuluan.

Sa pagdiriwang natin ng ika-128 anibersaryo ng Araw ng Kalayaan, nawa'y magsilbing paalala ang mga ito sa patuloy nating pakikibaka para sa tunay na kalayaan sa gitna ng kinakaharap na mga krisis ng ating bayan.
